Judy Cox | This House Believes the 21st Century Can Make Marxism Work | Cambridge Union

Judy Cox speaks as first proposition on Thursday 29th February 2024 at 8:00pm in the Debating Chamber.
Despite its origins in 19th and 20th Century politics, a fierce debate has been raging over the applicability of Marxism to an era in which production is shifting beyond its industrial roots. Despite the end of the Cold War, record numbers of young people are now identifying as Marxists.
With growing questions surrounding the increasing inequality and alienation being sown by new technologies, perhaps it is time to reappraise Marxist ideals? Or are the Marxists of the 21st Century doomed to repeat the totalitarian mistakes of their 20th century predecessors?

You need a mic on the stage for people watching the stream to hear.

What's a third century of wasteful failure after the last two?

[@CommunistConsensus]

All governance will descend into sociopathic domination at a rate determined by its tolerance of political sociopathy in policy creation, adjudication and enforcement, its quality of consensus seeking/building practices, its adherence to a best practices policy for the general welfare of both individuals and the society as a whole, and the fullness and quality of its documentation of its policy creation and practices.
